John Stiles Weston (18 November 1831 – 26 November 1858) was an English first-class cricketer and Anglican clergyman.

Weston was born at St John's Wood in November 1858 to Ambrose Weston.[1] He was educated at Rugby School,[2] before going up to Emmanuel College, Cambridge.[1] While studying at Cambridge, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Cambridge University against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's in 1851. He played first-class cricket for Cambridge until 1854, making seven further appearances.[3] He took 18 wickets for Cambridge across his eight first-class appearances, with two five-wicket hauls.[4] Weston gained a cricket blue in 1851 and 1852.[1] In addition to playing for Cambridge, he also made a single first-class appearance for the Gentlemen of England against the Gentlemen of Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's in 1854.[3] After graduating from Cambridge, he became an Anglican clergyman. He was a deacon at Gloucester in 1856, before becoming the curate of Monmouth later that year. He died at Monmouth in November 1858.[1]
